Arch Manning, Dante Moore highlight coveted 2027 NFL Draft QB class, while picture is murkier on Trinidad Chambliss, Julian Sayin

Yes, we just finished NFL Draft season a few weeks ago. But it’s never too soon to think about future prospects, especially when the 2027 quarterback class is projected to be absolutely loaded. On an episode of the “ Football 301” podcast ,” Yahoo Sports draft experts Nate Tice was joined by fellow draft analyst Cory Kinnan, creator of the “Daft on Draft” Substack, to discuss all the top QBs expected to form the highly anticipated 2027 class.

Naturally, they start with the biggest name of the bunch. Arch Manning, Texas Draft Projection: QB1/high first-round pick. Strengths: Possesses prototypical size and rare pocket movement skills; demonstrates advanced sack avoidance and the ability to throw from muddy pockets; has good core strength, enough arm talent to layer throws, and great ball placement, especially on deep balls.

His elite aggression, competitiveness, and athleticism make him a true No. 1 pick candidate. "He has every single trait or attribute that you would look for in a quarterback, starting at the size and the sack avoidance,” Kinnan said.

“There are so many reps of, like, defensive linemen draped around his hips trying to get him to the ground and him still getting the ball off. He is a big dude, a big, big dude. " Weaknesses: Occasionally aims short throws too much, leading to mechanical shortcuts and inaccuracy in the quick game.
